The Infinite World

 There is currently a construction project going on, at a remote location somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. There is a large object floating low on the surface, blackish in colour. It is about 50 meters long, 50 meters wide and about 1.5 meters above the water surface. How deep does the object goes below water, it cannot be estimated from looking at it.  It is not a perfect square or circle and it looks a bit irregular in shape, but it is about 2500 square meters in area. There are a few machines moving around the so call platform, they seemed to be extracting some elongated square beams from an opening in the middle of the platform.  The machines looks similar in shape and are passing the beam to the next machine using some form of robotic arms. There do not seem to be any living beings around the machines.  On the water surface, there are about 20 beams connected in squarish shapes. Each beam is about 15 meters long, with a 15cm by 15 cm square core. 

Are numbers the culprit that made human lives so unbearable sometimes? Why chase the numbers all your life? Human progress in numbers is a zero sum game. You gain at the expense of another person!  Think !!

SpaceX Falcon 9 has completed 48 missions up to 21 April 2026, way ahead of every other provider and in fact, ahead of any country!  No other entity will catch up with SpaceX, at the rate they are launching!  SpaceX will land on the moon ahead of NASA, as long as NASA do not purposely stop SpaceX from making the landing!

SpaceX has completed 41 launches as of 2 April 2026. Looking forward to the 12th Starship test flight in about 5 weeks time! Looking forward to the future where such explorations are not inhibited by the governments !

The current gulf war highlighted the human dependence on combustion for energy! Human only knows how to burn and burn, to acquire the energy they needed. If they spent the resources on weapons to energy research, it could produce some form of portable alternative energy sources.  But, humans, being weary of other humans, would never let their guts down! They distrust their own kind so much, that they would go to the extent of mutually destroying each other! The normal human on the street are not to be blamed, it’s the smart leaders that created this mistrust of each other, thinking too much! If all human were to help each other with a kind heart, the world would be a peaceful place. There is no solution for this mistrust, human are trapped in a vicious cycle due to the devil in them that surfaces constantly when it comes to decision time for important agendas.

With the renewed conflicts on Earth, it is evidence why no higher intelligence being ever wanted to visit this planet!  WHO would want to see the incumbents killing each other again and again for no apparent reason! Alien would think that all being on this planet is stupid or what? These people would spent so much time and resources on building weapons to annihilate each other again and again for thousands of years until maybe 1 day an all out nuclear war would reduce this planet to shambles! Ya maybe this is the unique destiny of this little planet!

SpaceX made it look so easy, Falcon 9 made 25 flights by end Feb 2026.

 I am hoping to cross 2000 km mark for the whole year of 2026. This is about 5.48km per day to run. Hopefully I can achieved this target this year and do a sub 5 hours for the scsm 2026 marathon on the first Sunday of 2026

How accurate were human in keeping time before the atomic clock, which came into existence in 1955! If there were a 10 percent off in time keeping, then human could be only in the 1800s now, if their forefathers counting was too slow or human could be in the 2200s if they count was too fast! How reliable were their forefathers time keeping skills ?  Last but not least, there were many inaccuracies in many areas in the past due to unreliable technology in the olden days!

 SpaceX continues to lead the world in space launches, 165 Falcon 9 launches! This record would likely be broken in 2026 and hopefully SpaceX Starship can achieve a satellite launch as well in 2026!

It’s time to start a space recycle station, to pick up the used satellites, expanded rockets or any metal pieces that can be found floating around Earth. With the launch of satellites constellation such as Starlink, it would be great to recycle such metal objects rather than let it burn up on reentry into Earth atmosphere.  Along it can be a factory to build new satellite or spacecraft in orbit. It’s time to really reuse such materials in space rather then the current practice of launching new spacecraft from earth and let the old machines to burn up on reentry. Of course, there are logistical task to complete before the recycling can start to take place. To begin with a sizeable spacecraft would be needed to perform such a task and a permanent crew would be needed.

At 3.42am, 7 Dec 2025 Sunday, I took a grab ride to Suntec city to join the SCSM 2025 marathon. I arrived just in time to deposit my bag at the F1 pit, entered my start pen E at 4.31am. As usual, the elite runners started at the front at 4.20am. It looks to me like a huge crowd and spirit was high and weather was good, cooling in the early morning. Pen E managed to start the race at 4.50am.  The start was the usual route towards the beach road golden mile area then towards the merdeka bridge towards national stadium. I just run along my usual slow run with the pack, tried my best to snaked my way when those in front are really slow. It got to a point where I was trying to run faster and faster when the body feels good. But, I always tell myself that it’s going to be a long way and never allowed myself to go below 6.30 pace. I reached the 10 km mark around the OUE Bayfront, it was around 1hour 5 min plus. It was not too bad as I was struggling to hit such time during my training run...

SpaceX has successfully launched 130 times up to 16 Oct 2025, excluding Starship test flights. It looks like another record breaking year for SpaceX, they are leading the world by a huge margin. 

Tactical race proved to be a killer for the world top long distance runners, as in the men’s 10000m race. The Kenyan and Ethiopian did not win medals, they ran too conservatively and did not have enough speed at the deciding last bit of the race. They need to stretch the not so fast athletes earlier, maybe with 2 laps to go, to make them tired out earlier, so that they are not in the right shape to sprint the last 100metres. A lesson for the runners from the 2 distance running powerhouse, try not to compete with speed at the end, run faster on average in the earlier part to tired out the not so elite runners. I believed the same apply for the 3000m steeplechase race, but it’s a much shorter race, so need to fine tune their strategies.

One day living homo sapien suddenly realised that whatever that is outside Earth are all fake!  Somebody just painted the universe on a piece of paper, maybe it’s real to the end of plato only!  There are tonnes of material written about distant worlds, but ironically human has never even explored anywhere else except the moon. How human convinced themselves what the other said is real is puzzling at most. A lot of unknown facts but they are winning prizes!

There are only 2 apparently empty units in at the Lentor TEL mrt station, 1 was a Cheers store that opened for like 3 months and then shut down till now28 July 2025. The Cheers store was shut for more than 2 years, but the Store signboard is till there.  It’s either the mismanagement of retail space by the whoever own the store or the owner of the store do not need the profit from the rental at all. The station was built by the government and who operate the store, the answer is obvious.  There is not a single convenient store within a 500m radius of this store, so there’s definitely money to be made. It’s either the rental is so high that no business is willing to take the risk to setup store or no one care to make the shop lot useful to serve the residents living nearby.  Why so spent so much to build but leave it empty for years??

 SpaceX has completed 90 launches up to 23 July 2025, they have out done all countries including their own!! But, the rest of the world is not catching up, they would open up the winning distance by a lot more by year end! Not to worry, human are typically slow, as they have too much personal goal to achieve that is much more important to them! Human is able to put up pay load to space at a greater speed than ever before, thanks to the incredible speed that SpaceX can turnover!  Human has all the time in the world, as the aliens are not coming to a planet that inhabitants kept trying to kill each other over and over again!

SpaceX completed flight 9, with a reused booster and many considered a partial success. The booster successfully reached stage separation and a successful boost back but did complete the soft landing at sea. The Starship reached suborbital but also disassembled upon re-entry.

 SpaceX has completed 57 launches as of 13 May 2025, on the way to another record breaking year! All the way SpaceX, you are on the way to Mars soon !

Human behaviour are closely tied to their behaviour, but they have limited ability to change their behaviour. Why? Because they are born with bad inert leaning ability, easily influenced by the devils in themselves. They need to be guided to move in the right direction, such as not hurting others, not to be greedy etc. Until one day, when they learn to live at peace with each other, they need to recognise that all of them need the same basic needs and there are enough to go around if they are not greedy! The world need to behave in a way that they do not hurt each other, especially the so called leaders. Those at the top are the ones with agenda, that lead the crowd to suffer for no logical reasons. The lack of trust among human, lead to all negotiations failing and the suffering continues!
